Big kudos to Catharine Skipp for this poignant piece in Friday’s Miami Herald—a candid (and wonderfully written) story of life in a changing industry. We had the pleasure of working with Catharine at Newsweek; the University of Miami is lucky to have her.

I am convinced that there needs to be either state funding for journalism or some independent financier needs to make this case to the public. If the Kindle were $150 I’d have a subscription to the NYTimes, Newsweek and The Economist right along side my Atlantic Monthly and Wired.
Seriously, I won’t miss the two page ads and classifieds at all.
